"This October, nostalgia fans can get their Bagpuss hit at a new pop-up Bagpuss & Co shop at Whiteley’s Shopping Centre in Bayswater. (There’s nothing like this at the new Westfield in Stratford, you know…)

"For a limited time only, you’ll be able to visit the old saggy cloth cat and his friends before they return to their owners. Inside Bagpuss & Co, you can see the original Bagpuss used in the show (did you know he was meant to be ginger, but the dyeing company made a mistake?), alongside his friends Gabriel, Madeline, Professor Yaffle and the singing mice."

Some day I'll be able to watch a whole episode again. Right now I can barely get through the titles. Simpler times.
